Looked poor since his arrival. Above is a sample list of players who 'looked poor' if you took six games for Aston Villa as a sample size. I can make a list of another 10 or so players if you like. Not sure if that's a troll or if I feel sorry for your opinion. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping Zaniolo improves, I’m just saying he’s been poor so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has all the attributes and has showed world class form in the past. Still only 24. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care - I think he is a good player, hopefully it’s all put to bed and he can fully focus on Aston Villa. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted October 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2023 https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Premier-League/27-10-2023/avvocati-di-zaniolo-nessun-indizio-a-suo-carico-mai-scommesso-sul-calcio.shtml Basically says there him and his legal team went in and restated their position that Zaniolo used illegal (not licensed in Italy) sites to play blackjack and poker. They stated he'd never bet on football matches, only playing cards. If that's what the prosecutors find, then he'll get a fine for using the non licensed sites, but on a sporting level there will be no ban as he's not bet on any football matches. Hopefully that's how it'll work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were even people on here after the Liverpool defeat questioning whether Emery shoudl continue being our manager or not... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back further I remember Laursen having a torrid start to his Villa career. Would we want him banned after 6 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of showing my age and from a time possibly before VT or even the internet, Ugo was written off by most people, fortunately not the man who picked the team at the time.

Haha, yes I remember his debut. 2-0 loss at home to Norwich if I remember it correctly, he was hopeless that match pretty much passed the ball to Norwich players every time. Turned out to be a giant for us in the end, what a player! I am still fairly hopeful that Zaniolo will turn out to be a top player for us (assuming there is nothing in the betting scandal). He tries things that nobody else would try, which is why it doesn’t always come off. I hope by the second half of the season he will have settled into the pace of the PL and we start see the true levels he can produce. I recall Bergkamp not being overly great in his first season at Arsenal, and he went on to be a great player for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing changes much. You are right - I think Ugo’s debut was against Norwich and it wasn’t good - So glad the club, stuck with him. Ugo became a Villa legend. Someone mentioned Laursen as well - don’t recall his debut tbh, but he is the only player I know that can hold a candle to Paul McGrath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
